Castus Spice

Castus Spice is a richly coloured woven upholstery fabric with a deep red tone that shifts between warm spice and dark crimson across its textured surface. The close, pebble-like weave gives the colour a gently variegated depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

This Clarke & Clarke fabric weighs 360gsm and has a 140cm usable width, giving the cloth a substantial presence suited to upholstered furniture. Small, closely packed woven loops or ovals form the visible texture, with darker threads punctuating the red ground and catching the light subtly. The pattern repeat measures 28cm vertically by 35cm horizontally, although the compact motif reads primarily as an all-over textural surface from a distance. With 24 threads per centimetre and a standard length of 35m, Castus Spice offers a dense, consistent weave for coordinating upholstery schemes.

How to use it

Use Castus Spice on a statement armchair, dining chair or sofa where its warm, dark red tone can act as the room’s grounding colour. Pair it with walnut, aged brass, charcoal and softly contrasting warm neutrals to draw out the weave’s depth.

Use this deep spice red weave to bring warmth and visual depth to upholstered seating, especially alongside dark wood or charcoal accents.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
